In 1990 Bertram launched it's huge 72' and only five were built. This was the largest sportfisherman ever put into production at Bertram and the novel design and meticulous engineering put it ahead of it's time in many ways. "GOOD BUD" has undergone a tremendous amount of improvements in the last two years both inside and out. The entire balsa cored hull was stripped and replaced with Divinycell foam coring and the interior decor and layout totally updated and improved. She has all new electronics and appliances and the stabilizers and machinery have been recently overhauled. "GOOD BUD" is definitely a yacht with palatial accommodations yet she continues the Bertram tradition of being a seaworthy fishing machine!!

Deck & Hull
Originally the Bertram 72' was built with a 17 degree deadrise balsa cored hull and bottom. The balsa core was badly engineered and poorly installed, leading to serious water-saturation problems with years to come. This contributed to the decision to end production of the 72' after five hulls. In 2000 the naval architecture firm of Sharp Design and Dencho Marine completely stripped the bottom of the balsa core and devised a laminate schedule that would be stronger than the original. All balsa coring was stripped to the inner skin and new vinylester laminate was applied to the old skin to create a solid base. The hull was at this time reinforced in areas where through-hull fittings, sea chests, bow thruster and stabilizers were to be located. Dencho Marine then vacuum bagged Divinycell foam core into place to match the thickness of the original balsa and cranked the vacuum up to 24 inches of mercury then added the outer skin. Dencho Marine is so skilled at this procedure that there was very little fairing needed when the job was finished. Nearly 500 gallons of Clark urethane foam was injected into the once empty chines to prevent water intrusion or the chance of future chine problems or damage. Nearly $400,000 was spent on rebuilding the hull and bottom. The hull was then completely painted with AWLGRIP. The entire project was closely monitored by two certified marine surveyors who were totally impressed with the skill and ability of Dencho Marine & Sharp Design Firm. Any doubts can be directly discussed with anyone involved with the entire project upon request.
